Sara was one of the best people I've ever had the privilege of knowing! I still think of her often and am eternally grateful for our shared time together at ACS. When we weren't discussing work and how to better serve our constituents (which Sara was very very good at, and taught me so much about) we'd talk about art, music and animals, and play pente! Some of the happiest memories of my life. Love ya Chopper, see ya around ✌️

Sara was such an amazing person. She taught me an important lesson that has stuck with me since we first talked about it, and that is the importance of being yourself. She taught me that you may never have an idea of the impact you can have on others just by being kind and being your own unique person. And she was so very kind and fun and funny. Hill and I regret that we didn't hang out with her more outside of work, but we are truly blessed to have known her.

I think about Sara all the time. She shows up in my dreams to hang out with me. She will always be with me and with all of us.

Sara was such a light!!! I remember loving talking to her and just being around her when we worked together at American Cancer Society! Her heart and presence were undeniable and I’m happy to have known her! A genuinely kind kind soul!

Sara helped me through some tough times in high school. I loved her subversive sense of humor. Our jokes were things we laughed at that no one else knew what they meant. I am learning that she had different in-jokes with lots of people and I am glad so many knew the joy of that.

She survived a lot of trauma and worked hard in therapy to get more resolution and happiness in her life. She taught me about a system of therapy where you address all the internalized voices you grew up with. She made me feel not alone and not crazy for having two different views of myself simultaneously that argued all the time. In the last few years I knew her, she would occasionally report on upsetting things that she had experienced and then say "...so that happened," in this very matter-of-fact way that was very plain and accepting of this horrible thing, but also disarmed the thing that was so scary, and made it less scary, and even sometimes allowed us to laugh at the absurdity of it. She had a lot of emotional intelligence and she sought to share it with others, and I was one of the beneficiaries of her wisdom. And for that I am grateful.

She was a truly wonderful woman. I’m sad she’s no longer here. All my love to her family.

Sara is a huge part (the best part) of me. The life we had together was often a tumultuous one, but I couldn’t imagine a life any other way. There is no one in this world anything like Sara.
